Olla de carne

Olla de carne is a rich and hearty Costa Rican stew made from beef cuts such as flank and short ribs, becoming especially tender when simmered in a broth together with cassava, carrots, potatoes, corn, plantains, and taro roots. This stew is traditionally prepared on weekends, both in home kitchens and restaurants, where it is accompanied by rice, beans, or deep-fried plantains.
